Beige wool scarf with blue edge stitch
Description
I found a beige wool scarf this afternoon around 3:45pm, left on the sidewalk near the Galleria's valet entrance on Westheimer Rd in Houston. It's a mid-length scarf, about 70 inches long, with a thick ribbed knit and tan tassels at both ends. There's a small J.Crew tag tucked into the inner corner and a thin blue thread stitched along the right edge—a tiny detail that’s easy to spot. The scarf is in good condition, just a little pilled from regular wear, no stains. If you recognize it, I'd really like to help you get it back—it's clearly been cherished and deserves to be worn again.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
